  Turning my first laser engraving into a full piece. -- "Flora in the Machine"  dried and ground sunflower, beetroot powder, glue, found objects. pruned branches, dried leaves, graphite, and laser engraving on paper.

  Really enjoyed experimenting with 3D rhino for my custom object after learning more through the 2D exercises we have been learning!

      ``` The final product after curves being removed ^^ and below is the tesselated version of my design, I started this design as I would any other drawing/ painting in my practice-- intuitively without an absolute plan-- I had some inspiration from the real world; the repetition in the industrial designs I saw day to day: gridded air vents, carpets that are tiled, clothes with tesselated patterns.  I wanted to make a design that was somewhat figurative though as that intuitively interests me. I had some struggles when it came to hatching as I had lots of open curves I had to touch up on and that was where I learned that I have to be very exact with my lines and how they close in order to paint the picture the way it was in my head.
